Sedlec: Starý Plzenec
Among the places of the Plzeň Region, Sedlec stands out for its orchard-and-woodland setting on the outskirts of Starý Plzenec, close to the Úslava valley. This small settlement belongs to a town whose roots reach back to the early medieval Přemyslid centre of Plzeň, established before the later city of Plzeň developed downstream. Above Starý Plzenec rises Radyně Castle, a prominent 14th-century royal stronghold built under Charles IV. The Romanesque rotunda of Saints Peter and Paul, on the site of the former hillfort, is among the Czech Republic’s oldest surviving sacred buildings. Sedlec has a quiet residential character, where gardens and fruit trees meet wooded slopes near Starý Plzenec’s historic core.

Sedlec has served as an agricultural settlement in the Vysočina Region since the Middle Ages. It occupies rolling upland country in south-western Moravia, where cultivated fields, small woods and local roads set the rhythm rather than urban development. The village is close to the Oslava valley and to Náměšť nad Oslavou, whose château grew from a medieval castle into a Renaissance residence. This wider area reflects the long connection between rural communities and the estates that shaped this part of Czechia.

The terrain of Kraj Vysočina ranges from rolling uplands in its central and northern districts to river-cut valleys in the south, giving the region a distinctly rural character. Set across the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, it lies on the historic meeting ground of Bohemia and Moravia. The Sázava and Jihlava are among its principal rivers, threading through woods, fields and small settlements. Its cultural map has remarkable depth: Třebíč’s Jewish Quarter and Basilica of St Procopius form a UNESCO World Heritage property, while the historic centre of Telč is listed separately. Jihlava, the regional capital, provides an urban counterpoint to the surrounding highland countryside. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on Kraj Vysočina.

The terrain of Czechia ranges from fertile lowlands in southern Moravia to mountain ridges along the northern frontier, giving this Central European country a distinctly varied geography. The Vltava runs through Prague before joining the Elbe, while the Krkonoše form part of the border with Poland and include Sněžka, Czechia’s highest mountain. Prague’s historic centre, with Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, reflects the city’s long role as a political and cultural centre. Beyond the capital, Bohemia is known for spa towns and brewing, and Moravia for wine-growing traditions.
